Lessons from previous PSDR
- The Rami Fourrager board game®. Aim: to help livestock farmers adapt their grasslands to climate change.
- The "Local Networks" guide: tools to take more effective action
Focus on 3 PSDR4 projects
- The ATA-RI project [1] which will look at supporting the agroecological transition of the farming industry in Occitanie / Pyrénées-Méditerranée. The project will create the knowledge and tools needed to develop agricultural systems capable of sustainably managing biodiversity, water and soil. Started in 2014, ATA-RI has already resulted in the creation of a decision-making support tool, Capflor®, which encourages mixing fodder species in accordance with the soil and climate conditions of the plot being seeded and the value expected by the user (mowing, pasture, mixed).
Promoting interregional sustainable development through 2 projects:
- The FRUGAL project [2] will look at analyzing food supply systems for cities in Western France and the Rhône-Alpes region. Farming in these areas is subject to regular crises (economic, health, property, etc.) so the aim is to find a way of relocating food to urban and peri-urban areas to make better use of local resources.
- The POEETE project [3], which aims to understand the interest and operation of mixed livestock farming systems at both the farm and regional scale in order to optimize sustainability and resilience. This work should result specifically in the creation of a model/simulator capable of testing adaptations, cutting-edge innovations and optimization models for mixed livestock farms.
